Lee Michael Bradbury (born 3 July 1975) is an English former footballer who made more than 500 appearances in the Football League. After retiring as a player, he spent 14 months as manager of A.F.C. Bournemouth and is now manager of Conference South side Havant & Waterlooville. ==Playing career== When he was an army recruit, Bradbury played part-time when on leave for Halstead Town under 18 side, and during the 94-5 season Cowes Sports. Bradbury started his professional career at Portsmouth, where he played for three years. A number of impressive performances in the 1996–97 season resulted in interest from a number of clubs, and in July 1997 he was purchased by Manchester City manager Frank Clark for a club record £3 million. However, Bradbury struggled to make an impact at Maine Road, and at the end of the 1997–98 season City were relegated, with Bradbury having scored just six goals. Three months into the following season Bradbury moved to Crystal Palace for £1.5 million. Less than a year later Bradbury was on the move again, returning to Portsmouth for £300,000. Bradbury's career started to recover at Pompey, making more than 100 appearances in his second spell at the club. However, in the 2002–03 season Bradbury lost his first team place as Portsmouth pushed for the First Division title. Loan spells at Derby, Sheffield Wednesday and Walsall (where he scored once against former club Derby) followed in the 2003–04 season. At the end of the 2004–05 season Bradbury was playing for Oxford United. Bradbury signed a four-month contract with Southend United on 31 January 2006. He subsequently signed a longer contract. In August 2007, Bradbury signed for Bournemouth on a four-month loan deal. After playing one game for the club the loan was made permanent, and Bradbury signed a contract until the end of the season.〔(Bournemouth bag striker Bradbury )〕 In the later stages of Bradbury's career, he played in a much different role, being converted into a right back for Bournemouth during an injury crisis he became the first choice right back for the south coast club, but with the arrival of defender Stephen Purches, who returned after three seasons away from Bournemouth, Bradbury went back to his former role of striker whilst attacking options were limited. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lee Bradbury」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
